Zack Snyder's work to raise money for suicide prevention has not gone unnoticed by Hollywood. On March 5, the Justice League director will be receiving a reward for his proud and fervent support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
After raising over half a million dollars for the AFSP, Snyder will be presented with the first-ever Valiant Award during the fourth annual Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards. Since losing his daughter Autumn to suicide, Snyder has staunchly supported AFSP.
In addition to presenting Snyder with an award, the Hollywood Critics Association has decided to purchase multiple items from Snyder's Ink to the People store, which will then be given away via social media during the ceremony.
"As a fan of Synder's ever since Dawn of the Dead, I couldn't be happier that we will be acknowledging his visionary filmmaking and resilience to overcome any obstacles," HCA Chair Scott Menzel said in a statement.
"We sincerely hope that our event can help raise some additional awareness of the importance of the AFSP and how the organization works daily to save lives," added HCA Chair Ashley Menzel. "We are ecstatic to have Zack joining us during our event. We hope that his supporters continue to be as generous as they have been and that more movie fans help us promote and donate to such an important cause, one that is very near and dear to my heart."
Snyder's next film projects include Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is slated to stream on HBO Max beginning March 18, and the zombie heist film Army of the Dead which will stream on Netflix beginning May 21.
The 4th Annual Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards Ceremony takes place on March 5 and will be streamed live via the HCA's official Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
